A new species of Plutella Schrank (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) from the Andes of northern Chile

<i>Plutellacopaquillaensis</i> sp. nov. is described and illustrated, based on adults reared from larvae collected on <i>Neuontobotryslanata</i> (Walp.) Al-Shehbaz (Brassicaceae) in the arid highlands of the Andes of northern Chile. The new species resembles <i>P.xylostella</i> in wing pattern, but clearly differs in genitalia morphology.
